(v) Role of Geofilter Studio. Geofilter Studio is a design agency that is responsible for the design of your Geofilter and the submission of the Geofilter to Snapchat. Geofilter Studio relies on a third party service for the submission of Geofilters (Snapchat) and as such, cannot guarantee that every submitted Geofilter will go live or work properly. If a Geofilter is properly submitted to Snapchat and the Geofilter does not appear during the scheduled time at the designated location, you will not hold Geofilter Studio responsible, and will discuss the matter with Snapchat separately from Geofilter Studio. A refund will not be provided if Geofilter Studio can factually prove a Geofilter was properly submitted to Snapchat. Geofilter Studio will not be held responsible or liable for any errors Snapchat makes or any matters out of their control.

Geofilter Studio shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any customer contract entered into or for any resulting service or product received or delivered.

Template Geofilters are submitted to Snapchat only after you approve and confirm the proof, date, time, and location of the event. Geofilter Studio does hold the right to submit a Geofilter even if you do not approve the proof, date, time, and location of the event. If the design work is completed but no confirmation is received from you for submission than the design fee is considered a final sale and no refunds will be approved. Geofilter Studio may be unable to submit a Geofilter after Snapchat’s submission cut-off time or resubmit a rejected Geofilter. Orders placed within two business hours of an event will not be processed. You understand these risks and will not receive a refund if the design is completed but not submitted to Snapchat on time.

Any payments made to Geofilter Studio shall also be subject to paragraph 3 below.

(vi) Cell Phone Number. When placing an order a phone number is not required. By entering a phone number you grant Geofilter Studio the right to text or call this number.

(vii) Content From You. Geofilter Studio can use any voluntary information, feedback, thoughts, improvements, suggestions, and the like without compensating you.

(viii) Content from Others. Geofilter Studio cannot be held liable for any actions of others using the Geofilter. You agree that the Geofilter you requested from Geofilter Studio will not harm others in anyway. Geofilter Studio cannot be held liable for any images posted by others with the Geofilter attached nor can Geofilter Studio be held liable for any loss of profits or revenues whether incurred directly or indirectly. Once the Geofilter is submitted, Geofilter Studio has no control over what photos or content are taken with the Geofilter.

3. Geofilter Studio Payment. Geofilter Studio charges a fee for their service. There are two fees: the “design fee” and the Snapchat fee. The design fee can include various levels of design detail, additional rushed fees, and a licensing fee. The final design fee is emailed to the client outlining the initial costs. After reviewing a customer’s order, the order will be processed and the provided credit/debit card will be charged the design fee. Any outstanding fees will be charged upon completion and submission of the Geofilter. Template orders require the full design fee paid at the time of placing the order. Any outstanding fees will be charged upon completion and submission of the Geofilter. Geofilter Studio holds the right to charge 5% interest per month on any overdue accounts.

As of November 2, 2016 if the Geofilter show to have not been used according to Snapchat’s metrics there will be no Snapchat fee charged. These fees are non negotiable.

Geofilter Studio fees are transaction-based and have a processing and authorization component. The Transaction fee is composed of a tax where applicable and charged when the purchase is successfully authorized and processed.

Refund

(a) A refund can only be requested up until Geofilter Studio starts designing the Geofilter. Once the design for the Geofilter has started the design fee becomes a final sale and refunds will not be authorized.

(b) Geofilter Studio does not automatically refund payments made for cancelled orders back to your payment provider. Refunds must be requested in writing to Geofilter Studio. The order must to be cancelled before the design is started for a full refund to be issued.

(b) Deposit refunds, when available from the payment provider, can be performed by our Customer Service team. To prevent fraud and abuse, Geofilter Studio limits the total amount of times users can request a payment provider refund from their account, which is subject to review by our Customer Support team. If a Geofilter was live, neither the Snapchat fee nor the design fee is refundable. If the Geofilter shows no useage metrics from Snapchat, Customer Service will review the order and determine if any refund is owed. Geofilter Studio is not legally required to provide a refund if the design work is completed and if Geofilter Studio can factually prove the Geofilter was submitted properly to Snapchat.
